    Do you think Dumbledore knew he was going to die?

    If the argument he had with Snape refered to Snape's promise to Narcissa, is it possible Dumbledore knew Snape would end up helping Draco kill him?

    If that's the case, Dumbledore's more twisted than I thought.
    Please tell me what you think.

    I think he knew he was going to die, that does not mean that he knew about snapes promise to help draco but he might have been dying from the damage he got to his hand from destroying the horcrux, that could be why he was so willing to drink the liquid that protected the fake horcrux.

    Well, let's see:

    He told Harry beforehand to promise to go back to the Dursley's when he simply could have waited till the end of the year to tell him.

    No matter what crap you want to spew about redemption and whatnot or how weak the potion made him, if he didn't know about the Malfoy plot, he was supposed to be one of the strongest wizards around and he couldn't summon/expell Malfoy's wand when he had enough strength to freeze Harry to the wall?

    On a site where a guy posted a video of a Snape parody there were a few comments. This one was really interesting and explains your question. http://www.i-am-bored.com/forums.asp?page_num=1&action=read&q_id=12364&ct=10

    Of course he did, I think that's why there are so many people resurrecting him, stories where he faked his death and so.

    I just wonder if or how he knew about the convenient timing.

    He knew he was gonna die.
    of course i also refuse to believe snape is the good guy here.
    im gonna stick with the good ol' fashioned snape tricks dumbles into thinking that snape is trustworthy while snape really works for the darklord.
    mainly because i despise snape
